Hi chaps Thank you all again for more kind words. to answer a few questions. Yes it fits fine with air con, you need to remove about 5mm fron the bottom edge but if you let me know when ordering i will do it for you. The cb mounts to a pair of mounting brackets that come with the dash. If anyone has the brushed ally and wants it anodising after they have cut out what they want send it back to me and i will sort it for you. I will shortly be putting photos of the specials that i have cut for folk. all i need is for somone wanting to fitt the kitchen sink in to one and i will have coverd everything. one chap had 14 switches, what they all do i dont know but i hope he has a big battery. There is a cutting template in the box so the cut out is sorted for you, from the feedback i have the best method is to remove the screws holing the top plastic trim in place (dont bother taking off the grab handle at the left) tape the plastic trim to the windscreen out of the way.stick the template to a bit of plywood, use the 2 marked holes to bolt the template to the dash where the origanal plate was fitted, stanly knife across the bottom and up the 2 sides, remove the template and the soft stuff that you have cut through. now cut the steel away behind it (you will find thst there is a section to the right and left that is already cut. just cut as if to underline the old round clock holes. the finish down the 2 sides needs to be good but the bottom will not show so dont need to be spot on. Now put the plastic trim back on with its screws. use a hacksaw blade upside down to cut the plastic trim upwords DONE. I had one chap at the show who ws showing off in front of a crowd saying "its not possible to fit the console in 20 mins" I invited him to bring his motor over and if i couldnt do it in 20 mins it was his for free. In fromt of a crowd with 10 folk timing me it took me 9 1/2 mins "sold to the man with the big gob" shouted the biggest bloke i have ever seen in my life. It was priceless. Ayway thanks again chaps, my email link from the site has been playing up so it you have sent an iquiry and i havnt answerd please re send. Is anyone going down to the show at shepton mallet this comming weekend to claim there pint. Best regards Phil

Thanks to all for the kind words and the warm welcome. If i can be of any assistance at all feel free to call me. My next plan is a roof console and locking cubby box. what would you all want in the console. By the way i do have a shorter dash console thats 300mm wide but you cant fit a cb and radio. Please introduce yourselves at the next show and i will buy you all a pint www.raptor-engineering.co.uk

Morning chaps. 1st time on here for me. I am Phil From Raptor engineering. I am not on here to sell anything just wanted to clear up a few facts and hopefully help. firstly thanks very much for the kind words that most have had to say. I am a landrover nut and the console was born from building my own truck and having no where to put radio, cb, oil pressure, amp meter, lights and winch switches that i needed. I 100% make them myself, they are a good price because there is no middle man at all. My first show was this year, I am an honest hard working chap who is more interested in making a good quality product than trying to get rich quick. the consoles are guaranteed for life, any problems let me know i will sort it as a matter of urgency. Changed your mind on the lay out,no problem i will make you new panels as a very low cost as long as you have my console(i am not interested in making a profit out of anyone twice for the same item). I would like to come back on the one post where someone says he has seen them and they are carp, this is unfair and not true, you may not like them and that's fine i have no problem with that. carp suggests that the quality is not good. Are you sure its my console that you have seen you don't say where you saw it, if it was before the shows this year it wasn't my console. As i said i am not trying to sell anything as that would be wrong and not what the forum is about. But please rest assured I have had nothing but congratulations at the shows on a well made quality product. This is a brand new business, and my first. Thank you again to all those who have purchased from me , I couldn't do it without you and for that reason my customer service will always be second to none. Regards Phil Proctor Raptor engineering
